Annual Report Twelfth Anniversary

Message from Chairman of Board of Directors

On the auspicious occasion of twelfth anniversary of Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL), I would like to deliver sincere appreciation to our precise customers for their support, cooperation and demonstration of solidarity to face the threat occurred during the provision of service and create positive environment to inspire the employees for their unbroken dedication toward customer services. Likewise, the entire employees of KUKL are also unquestionably recipient for gratefulness for hardworking and dedication for promotion of performance of the company in terms of customer service regardless of the limited resources.

The institutional history of urban water and sanitation goes back to the formation of Government owned public water system in 1893 and the series of institutional reform is appeared as present structure in the name of KUKL.KUKL as an autonomous company formed on the PPP model is committed to provide the quality drinking water and sewerage services through the collaboration of two diverse development actors i.e. public and private sectors for the purpose of operation and maintenance of water supply and sanitation system of Kathmandu valley after the completion of Melamchi water supply project. Melamchi water supply project divided into two sub projects is on the verge of completion. Melamchi as hope as well as sustainable source of water supply for Kathmandu valley embedded both challenges and opportunity to KUKL. As a chairperson of KUKL BOD, I want to disclose that KUKL is strengthening it's capacity to convert these challenges into the opportunity in new environment.

The constitution of Nepal ensured as fundamental right to every citizen for access to clean drinking water and sanitation. KUKL is always committed to guarantee the constitutional right of every citizen through the partnership with local, provincial and federal government, donor agencies, Kathmandu Valley water supply management board, private sectors and other stakeholders. KUKL is also planning for extension of it's service area to respond the additional demand of drinking water and sewerage facilities which is extended with the expansion of urbanization.


At last, on behalf of KUKL board of directors and me, I would like to acknowledge the constant support from Government of Nepal, local government, Asian Development Bank, Japan cooperation agency, Katmandu valley water supply Management Board, all stakeholders and KUKL management and employees. Past twelve years of KUKL, as an utility operator, will be benchmark for further management of urban water supply and sanitation of the country. In my conviction this anniversary will provide inspiration to KUKL Board, management and all employees to perpetuate their hard work, high morale and enthusiasm to fulfill the professional as well as social accountability and responsibility through provision of efficient drinking water and waste water management in Kathmandu valley.

Er. Rama Kanta Duwadi Chairman KUKL, BOD

1 Annual Report Twelfth Anniversary

1. IntroductionKathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL) is the water utility operator of the Kathmanduvalley. It is the company responsible for water and wastewater system operation in Kathmanduvalley. It is a public company registered under the Nepal Government’s Company Act 2063 andoperates under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) modality. According to KUKL’s Articles ofAssociation, the company has the objective to undertake and manage the water supply andsanitation system of the Kathmandu valley previously operated by Nepal Water Supply Corporation(NWSC) and to provide a quantitative, qualitative and reliable service to its customers at anaffordable price.

2. Institutional Transition for providing Water Supply and SanitationServices in Kathmandu Valley

Looking back into the history, public water supply system was initiated in Kathmandu valley way back in 1893 AD. Before February of 2008, the water supply and wastewater management of Kathmandu valley had been managed by different institution at different periods of time as formed by Government of Nepal (GoN). Pani Adda, Pani Goswara, Water Supply and Sewerage Management Board and Nepal Water Supply Corporation were the organization which worked as water utility operator of Kathmandu valley till then. A change in institutional setup of water supply and management agency of Kathmandu valley was envisaged and was proposed through Ninth and tenth Five-year plan (1997) of then GoN which suggested a policy of involvement of local governments and private sectors for water supply and wastewater system management. GoN conceptualized the formation of Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Authority in 2000 to initiate operation of water supply services through corporate/private setup. Later, the GoN established three key entities for institutional reforms in the water sector of Kathmandu Valley. This institutional reform aimed in representation of municipalities and private sectors at a policy level with a target to safeguard operating company from bureaucratic and political intrusion in management and operational decisions. This reform also meant to implement cost recovery based tariff structures, commercial operation of the company, implement capacity development and technology transfer in this sector. This new institutional framework for water supply and sanitation facilities in Kathmandu Valley hence separated three basic functions of ownership (planning and investment), operation (day-to-day operational activities) and regulation (fixing tariff).

These three key entities established are:

I. Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Management Board (KVWSMB): KVWSMB is the assetowner of water and waste water infrastructure within the Kathmandu valley. It is the organizationresponsible for developing and overseeing policies regarding water and wastewater systemdevelopment and operation. KVWSMB was established under Water Supply Management BoardAct, 2063 and is accountable for overall planning of maintenance, service improvement andadditional investment. However, the board cannot involve directly in the operation of the services,


implementation of the works and fixation of water tariff. II. Water Supply Tariff Fixation Commission (WSTFC): WSTFC is responsible for the economic regulation of the water supply sector of Nepal. The commission is established as per Water Tariff Commission Act to determine water tariff based on commercial principles and set scientific criteria. The commission functions as an independent regulator of tariffs for water supply and wastewater services. KUKL at regular interval submits proposals for tariff fixation to the Commission together with its documentary evidence and upon scrutiny the commission approves the tariff with amendments, if necessary. The commission also facilitates in resolution of customer complaints by providing a mediator service to which customers can appeal against performance of the service provider. III. Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL): As mentioned earlier, KUKL is a utility operator responsible for operation and maintenance of drinking water supply and sewerage system of the Kathmandu valley and is operating the system under the license granted by KVWSMB for 30 years. The official operation of the water and wastewater system of Kathmandu valley by KUKL commenced in February 2008.

14. Activities of Project Implementation Directorate (PID):

The Bulk Distribution System (BDS), Distribution Network Improvement (DNI) of the water supply infrastructure as well as works related to wastewater service infrastructure construction works is being implemented by Project Implementation Directorate (PID) of KUKL. KVWSMB, an autonomous body established under WSMB Act (2006), is responsible for the development and provision of water supply and wastewater services to inhabitants of Kathmandu Valley. As per the Act, KVWSMB owns the assets of water supply and sewerage infrastructure and delivers the services through the service operator in Kathmandu Valley. KUKL is separate water and wastewater operator, for the management of Kathmandu Water as well as ADB financed infrastructure development projects. Project Implementation Directorate (PID) of KUKL is a project office for the management of ADB funded projects. The crisis in sanitation has increased disease incidence, health risks and associated economic burdens to the residents of Kathmandu Valley due to environmental pollution. Rivers of the Kathmandu Valley are heavily polluted due to unmanaged solid waste and household & industrial wastewater. To improve urban environment in Kathmandu Valley it is necessary to construct and rehabilitate urban wastewater infrastructure. Government of Nepal requested to the Asian Development Bank to finance the wastewater management project of Kathmandu Valley. The BDS and DNI works are in line with ADB’s Nepal country partnership strategy. It calls for economically viable, environmentally sustainable, and socially acceptable solutions for the metropolitan Kathmandu sewage management. There are two major components under PID which are explained in detail in following paragraphs

A. Water Supply Infrastructure Component

The objective of this component is mainly towards improvement of water supply, storage and distribution system including improvement of efficiency, service delivery, institutional development and governance in the water sector in Kathmandu Valley.

Formulated on the basis of the PPTA conducted in 2009-2010, this project was designed to complement past and ongoing efforts to develop a reliable, equitable, and sustainable water supply system in Kathmandu Valley.

Accordingly, the project will focus on reducing Non-Revenue Water (NRW) and improving the existing network. To drive efficiencies and introduce best practices, the project is utilizing the district metering areas (DMA) approach for distribution network improvement and NRW reduction. With the completion of Melamchi tunnel, Kathmandu Valley will receive an additional 170 million litres per day (MLD) in first phase, while the current average availability from existing sources is about 120 MLD. For the efficient distribution of this water, distribution network improvement works, bulk distribution system construction along with 10 service reservoir is being constructed by PID.


Major Works Under Water Supply Infrastructure Component SN Description Activities

1 Bulk Distribution System Network (BDS)

Includes construction of total 76 kilometers of D.I. Pipeline aiming to convey water from Sundarijal WTP to 10 Service reservoirs located at different places in Kathmandu Valley.
